Chapter 3: "Thursday"

Another day of poems and reading stuff... Don't you think this is getting repetitive?

Main route

Scene: MC's bedroom

Scene fades in
Play music: Ohayou Sayori!
Player is hovering over Main Character 1 with MC1's head in the expressive main character box
Main Character 1 (glare, eyes forward): Ugh... I woke up from another nightmare.
Main Character 1: This time it was different. One I have never experienced.
Main Character 1: Now I'm suddenly forgetting what it was, but it was at school and it was literally dark.
Main Character 1 (talking sadly, eyes closed): Ever since I joined the literature club in this reset, I've been having nothing but nightmares.
Main Character 1 (glare, eyes forward): I think I'm getting it. Maybe the name of this so-called mod being called Doki Doki Virus is a virus that gives me nightmares.
If Day 2's poem was good for Natsuki
Main Character 1: Actually, it kind of makes sense so far since Natsuki had a dream, revisiting that glitched reset.
If Day 2's poem was good for Yuri
Main Character 1: Actually, it kind of makes sense so far since Yuri had a dream, revisiting that glitched reset.
Main Character 1: If this is all the mod is then I guess it's not too bad except it's annoying.
Main Character 1 (worried): Or will it drive everyone crazy? Is that what this virus is?
Main Character 1 (neutral, eyes closed): Maybe, I think I'm taking it too seriously.
Main Character 1 (glare, eyes forward): Guess I'll get out of bed and head to school.
Main Character 1: Let's see what Sayori's up to.

Scene: Residential area

Sayori enters the scene
Sayori (both arms down, happy, eyes forward): "Good morning, [mc1 name]. Have a nice sleep?"
Player exits out of Main Character 1's body as he enters the scene
Main Character 1 (both hands down, glare, eyes forward): "What do you think?"
Sayori (right arm up, talking nervously): "Oh my... What happened to you?"
Main Character 1: "Another nightmare. I can't remember what it was."
Main Character 1 (right hand out, talking worryingly): "Is this what the Doki Doki Virus is or what?"
Sayori (talking worryingly): "Whoa, calm down!"
Sayori: "I never see you like this. Why don't you stay home today? You need a nice nap."
Main Character 1 (both hands down, glare): "I don't want to sleep and I don't want to skip any more of my classes and fail."
Main Character 1 (talking worryingly): "More importantly, I'm curious about Yuri or Natsuki, if they're experiencing the same thing."
Sayori: "Are you sure? I can get you excused from classes."
Main Character 1 (worried, eyes closed): "I'm sure. I'll feel better after school once clubs start."
Sayori: "If you say so."
Main Character 1 (curious): "Oh yeah, how are you feeling? Any nightmares?"
Sayori (both arms down, curious): "Not really."
Main Character 1 (curious): "You're either lucky or it's because you're club president."
Sayori and Main Character 1 leaves the scene
Player is hovering over Main Character 1 with MC1's head in the expressive main character box
Main Character 1 (worried): Sayori and I head to school together and boy, am I feeling worse...
Scene fades out

Scene: Classroom

Scene fades in
Main Character 1: The day has gone by as boring as ever. I was feeling drowsy and paranoic in my first few class periods but I was slowly regaining energy.
Main Character 1 (neutral): By the end of classes, I feel normal but still bored. I still head to the clubroom.
Scene fades out
Stop music, fades out

Scene: Clubroom

Scene fades in
Play music: Main Theme
Main Character 1: I yawned as I enter the clubroom.
Yuri enters the scene
Yuri (both arms down, happy, eyes forward): "Good afternoon, [mc1 name] and Sayori. How are feeling today?"
Sayori enters the scene
Sayori (happy, talking): "Fine!"
Main Character 1: "Hey Vice Prez, probably the same as yesterday."
Yuri (eyes away): "You don't need to call me by that..."
Main Character 1 (happy): "How are you feeling, Yuri?"
Yuri (curious, eyes away): "..."
Yuri (parting lips neutrally, eyes closed): "Well, it could be better..."
Main Character 1 (neutral): Guess I can assume that everyone's feeling the same.
Natsuki enters the scene
Natsuki (both arms down, yelling, eyes squeezed): "All I can say is that I've been feeling like crap."
Main Character 1 (glare, eyes away): Yep...
Yuri: "Maybe a nice cup of tea will help our day, don't you guys think?"
Main Character 1 and Natsuki (arms crossed, mouth closed flusteringly, eyes away): "Sure..."
Natsuki and Yuri leaves the scene
Sayori enters the scene
Sayori (left arm up, nervously happy, eyes away): "Guess everyone is not having a great day."
Sayori (right arm up, happy, eyes forward): "I know. I'll find some nice activities we could do in the club."
Sayori (eyes away): "I'll be right back. Enjoy yourselves!"
Sayori leaves the scene
Main Character 1: Sayori once again leaves us three alone.
Main Character 1 (wondering): I think Sayori is doing this on purpose to either try to figure out what's going on in this world or she is just leaving me with Yuri and Natsuki since she doesn't have a so-called "character route" in this continuation.
Main Character 1 (glare, eyes away): Or both.
Main Character 1 (wondering): I hope she doesn't become as desperate as Monika did overtime.
Main Character 1 (worried): This Doki Doki Virus, whatever it could be, is really making us paranoid, if we are already infected.
Yuri enters the scene
Yuri (left hand up, talking sadly, eyes forward): "Is something on your mind, [mc1 name]? You were spacing out."
Main Character 1 (nervously happy): "Ah, it's nothing."
Main Character 1: I still think it's too early to talk to them about it unless if I know for sure.
Yuri (sadly happy): "Then I'll get the tea started and we can continue our reading activities if you're interested."
Go to "Natsuki Route - Chapter 3" or "Yuri Route - Chapter 3" based on the winning poem.

Natsuki Route - Chapter 3

Main Character 1 (happy, eyes forward): "Sure. Excuse me for a minute."
Yuri (left hand up, happy, eyes forward): "O-okay."
Natsuki enters the scene
Natsuki (left hand on hip, mouth opened neutrally, eyes forward): "Be right back, I'm gonna use the restroom. Don't start reading without me."
Main Character 1 (talking happily): "I have to go too."
Yuri: "In that case, can one of you fill up the water pitcher while I plug in the electric kettle?"
Natsuki (mouth opened seriously): "[mc1 name], you do that?"
Main Character 1 (glare): "Fine."
Natsuki and Yuri leaves the scene

Main Character 1: Natsuki and I head out to the nearest restroom with a nearby water fountain.
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally, eyes forward): "You can go ahead."
Main Character 1 (neutral): Nearby a restroom, I fill up the water pitcher by the water fountain.
Main Character 1 (wondering): Before Natsuki went into the girls' restroom, she looked like she wanted to say something.
Natsuki enters the scene
Natsuki (arms crossed, mouth closed flusteringly, eyes away): "Umm... So I was curious."
Player exits out of Main Character 1's body as he enters the scene
Main Character 1 (both hands down): "...?"
Natsuki: "Are you experiencing... weird dreams like me? I mean, like..."
Main Character 1: "Nightmares? As if we experienced things before?"
Natsuki (both hands down): "Yeah. It couldn't be just a coincidence, can it?"
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "Can I tell you something? It will sound crazy and you may not believe me but..."
Natsuki (left hand on hip, talking seriously, eyes forward): "Try me."
Main Character 1: "What if I told you the world we know it is actually a game world and the world keeps resetting itself?"
Main Character 1 has his right hand on head, blushing neutrally, eyes away.
Natsuki (arms crossed, talking flusteredly happy, eyes away): "AHH-HAHAHAHAHA!"
Natsuki: "I'd normally say you are full of crap but..."
Natsuki (mouth closed flusteringly): "It's just so weird on how real, yet fake, it felt. I don't know how to describe it."
Natsuki: "And that girl, who was that girl? I can't remember who..."
Main Character 1 (right hand out, talking neutrally, eyes forward): "Let me guess: Green eyes, white bow in a long ponytail?"
Natsuki (both hands down, talking neutrally, eyes forward): "Yeah... how'd you...?"
Main Character 1: "Monika. She's the actual creator of the Literature Club. But at the moment, she technically doesn't exist anymore."
Natsuki (talking seriously): "Wait, wait, wait! What does that mean?"
Natsuki: "I thought Sayori was the founder and Yuri was the one who joined her."
Main Character 1: "In this timeline, yes, Sayori took over her place. But not in the original timeline."
Main Character 1: "Time kept resetting itself and I've been remembering everything ever since I joined the Literature Club in this timeline."
Main Character 1: "We'd normally completely forget those things but not this time. I thought it was just me until yesterday."
Natsuki (arms crossed, mouth closed flusteringly, eyes away): "That's some crazy stuff but..."
Natsuki (both hands down, head turned, talking, eyes closed): "I gotta use the restroom like super bad, so don't stall me any longer."
Main Character 1 (both hands down, glare): "..."
Natsuki and Main Character 1 leaves the scene
Scene fades out
Player is hovering over Main Character 1 with MC1's head in the expressive main character box
Main Character 1 (mouth opened neutrally, eyes closed): In any case, now that the water pitcher is filled up, I used the restroom as well."

Natsuki (left hand on hip, neutrally happy, eyes forward): "..."
Main Character 1 (curious): "What...?"
Main Character 1: A second later, Natsuki instantly stretches her right arm and quickly taps my shoulder.
Natsuki (both hands down, smiling, eyes closed): "Tag! Race you back to class!"
Main Character 1 (smirking): "Oh you... You're so on!"
Natsuki leaves the scene
Main Character 1: Natsuki and I run back to class.
Main Character 1 (happy): Suddenly, we're having fun now.
Main Character 1 (nervously happy, eyes closed): But I take it easy not to spill the filled water pitcher so Natsuki beats me back to class but...

Natsuki enters the scene
Natsuki (both hands on hip, talking flusteredly happy, eyes away): "What took you so long, dummy?"
Main Character 1 (glare, eyes forward): "No fair! I had to go back to refill the pitcher and clean the floor!"
Natsuki (talking, eyes closed): "Ah, ah, ah! That's no excuse."
Natsuki (eyes away): "Just kidding! But you owe me a read of Death Scroll today."
Main Character 1 (nervously smiling, eyes closed): "Yeah..."
Main Character 1: To be honest, I think that was the most fun I ever had in this new timeline. I see what Natsuki was trying to do. I'm just worrying too much so I figured Natsuki was lightening my mood.
Yuri enters the scene
Yuri (both hands down, parting lips neutrally, eyes forward): "I've been waiting..."
Main Character 1 (nervously happy, eyes forward): "Ah, sorry..."
Main Character 1 (happy): "Here you go."
Main Character 1: I handed the filled water patcher to Yuri.
Yuri (happy): "Thank you."
Yuri leaves the scene
Main Character 1: Yuri boils the water in the kettle. The tea is brewing. In the meantime, Natsuki is in the closet. She looks like she's having a trouble so I take a look.

Natsuki (eyes forward): "Who moved my manga collection?"
Main Character 1 is scared
Yuri (off-scene): "Ah... Sorry. The teacher yelled at me and Sayori and Sayori had to..."
Natsuki (eyes closed): "..."
Yuri: "Why don't we read—"
Natsuki (both hands down, yelling, eyes squeezed): "I already told [mc1 name] we're reading Death Scroll today."
Main Character 1 (nervous): "Why don't you let me help—"
Main Character 1 gets scared

Main Character 1 (shocked): However, as she falls back to the ground, the box fell on top of her with volumes scatter.

Natsuki (left hand on hip, mouth closed flusteredly, eyes away): "Fine!"

Sayori enters the scene
Play music: Poem Panic!
Sayori (both arms down, talking happily, eyes closed): "Hi everyone, is everything alright in—"
Sayori (talking nervously, eyes forward): "Eh?"
Natsuki (both hands on hip, gritting teeth flusteredly, eyes closed): "Sayori? Why did you put my collection on the top shelf?"
Sayori (left arm raised, nervously happy, eyes away): "Sorry, sorry, sorry! I had no choice. And I was bringing back things we could—"
Natsuki (arms crossed, yelling, eyes squeezed): "But I wanted to read with the others."
Main Character 1 (right hand on head, nervous): "Natsuki, that's not how you should treat the club pres—"
Sayori (talking nervously): "Sorry! I knew everyone was feeling down so I thought..."
Sayori (pointing fingers, pouting, eyes away): "Actually, I'll leave you guys alone."
Natsuki leaves the scene
Main Character 1 (talking worryingly): "Are you okay, Sayori?"
Sayori: "I'm fine. If reading is what will make you guys most happy, I'll leave you to it and maybe another time..."
Yuri enters the scene
Yuri (left hand up, talking sadly, eyes forward): "Are you sure, Sayori?"
Sayori (happy, eyes forward): "Y-yes! Have fun. And maybe tomorrow, we can do something new."
Sayori and Yuri leaves the scene
Main Character 1 (worried): Once again, Sayori left us alone and exited the clubroom.
Main Character 1 (blushing neutrally): During that time, while Natsuki was bending over to pick up her manga collection and re-organized them in the box, I accidentally saw her panties.
Main Character 1: These are new. This time, they are pink with pandas... Cute...
Main Character 1 (eyes away): But she'll beat me up if I draw attention by saying anything but she doesn't notice. I stare away.
Main Character 1 (happy, eyes forward): After Natsuki fixed her collection, she pulls out a copy of Death Scroll and the three of us began reading against the back wall of the classroom with Natsuki in the middle, me on the left, and Yuri on the right.

Natsuki enters the scene, sitting down against the wall, talking neutrally, eyes forward
Scene fades in
Play music: Play With Me
Main Character 1 (curious): Continuing from where we last off, the rivalry of the samurai-in-training protagonist Tenshi Gekko and the unnamed heroic masked shogun antagonist begins.
Main Character 1: As time passed by and as Tenshi continued his secret work of eliminating evil from Japan with the Death Scroll, the more Tenshi and his family became suspected.
Natsuki is serious
Main Character 1: His father, a blacksmith named Tenma Gekko, denies these suspicions and is doing all he can prove his family's innocence but he is being arrested by the samurai police force.
Main Character 1: Tenshi was tempted to save his father and he wanted to, but it would only draw more suspicion towards him.
Main Character 1: Regardless, they arrested him too and the rest of the family.
Main Character 1: When the samurai police force was preparing execution blocks, people continued to die.
Main Character 1: But it wasn't just the criminals, but innocent lives were also being killed, usually having their lives mysteriously drained from them.
Main Character 1: Tenshi didn't have the Death Scroll on him and he had it well hidden.
Main Character 1 (thinking): What does this mean? Is there another Death Scroll user in the works or did someone find the scroll Tenshi hid?
Main Character 1 (curious): With this news, the samurai police force was convinced that the Gekko family were innocent so they released them and Tenshi got his occupancy back as samurai-in-training.
Natsuki is nervous, eyes away
Main Character 1 (surprised): In fact, he was promoted to become part of the samurai police force as a real samurai and Tenshi accepted the role just to get closer to the masked shogun of justice and to find out who is the second sorcerer.
Natsuki is talking neutrally, eyes forward
Main Character 1 (curious): However, the unnamed masked shogun figured out that there was a second sorcerer in the works and wonders if both sorcerers were in league with each other.
Main Character 1: He still has Tenshi as a suspect as the primary sorcerer but has no new evidence or reasons to convict him until proven.
Main Character 1: Regardless, Tenshi found himself, yet, another rival
Main Character 1 (thinking): Is this second Death Scroll user a friend or foe?
Natsuki is happy, eyes closed
Main Character 1: Regardless, they go against Tenshi's wishes and Tenshi demands justice.

Yuri (both hands up, talking happily, eyes forward): "This is so amazing. I never knew manga with such depth, mystery, the suspension could exist."
Natsuki (both hands on hip, smiling, eyes closed): "Told ya, you would love it!"
Main Character 1 (happy): "Yeah! It is the best manga I've read in years!"
Yuri (crazily happy): "So... I'm guessing two of those Death Scrolls exist. I wonder who else is behind all that."
Yuri: "And oh my god, Tenshi and that masked guy are so much closer, yet, still distant..."
Main Character 1 is surprised
Natsuki has her left hand on hip, mouth opened neutrally
Yuri (talking happily, eyes closed): "I'm so excited to read more."
Yuri (both hands down, crazily happy, eyes forward): "The suspense is killing me.!"
Natsuki (talking seriously): "Calm down, Yuri! We still have another time."
Yuri is crazily nervous, eyes forward
Natsuki (right hand on hip, talking flusteredly happy, eyes away): "But I never have seen you this obsessed with manga before so it is pretty refreshing seeing you like that."
Yuri: "Eh... Oh, my! S-sorry. W-what did I just—"
Main Character 1 (happy): "Yuri, I'm glad you're passionate doing something new."
Main Character 1 is wondering
Yuri (turned away, talking nervously, eyes forward): "Oh, I'm so embarrassed I—I just have a lot of things in my mind when Natsuki read that and I tend to release my thoughts at random."
Yuri: "It's a crazy habit I have whenever I read books and get too invested in it."
Main Character 1 (happy): "You're fine, Yuri."
Natsuki (both hands on hip, smiling, eyes closed): "Well, how does it feel to be an otaku like us?"
Yuri (turned forward, left arm up, nervous, eyes forward): "Ehh? But... I am not..."

Natsuki enters the scene
Natsuki (left hand on hip, mouth opened neutrally, eyes forward): "Be right back, I'm gonna use the restroom. Don't start reading without me."
Yuri: "In that case, you fill up the water pitcher on your way while I plug in the electric kettle?"
Natsuki (both hands on hip, sweatingly talking, talking seriously, eyes closed): "Sighs Fine..."
Natsuki and Yuri leaves the scene
Main Character 1: At least it's not me doing the easy work.
Main Character 1: Natsuki takes the empty water pitcher with her and leaves the clubroom.
Main Character 1: I was thinking about going too, but I can wait until after the club.
Main Character 1: Yuri takes the electric kettle out of the closet and plugs it in the outlet near the teacher's desk.
Yuri enters the scene
Yuri (both hands down, happy, eyes forward): "Now to wait for Natsuki."
Main Character 1 (talking happily): "So, what should we do until then?"
Yuri (nervous, eyes away): "A-actually I have something on my mind...that... I'd like to talk to you about."
Main Character 1 (talking curiously): "Okay."

Main Character 1 (worried): "I figured..."
Player exits out of Main Character 1's body as he enters the scene
Main Character 1 (both hands down): "So, how much do you remember?"
Yuri: "I don't know... I can't remember who but..."
Main Character 1 (right hand out, talking neutrally): "Let me guess: Green eyes and white bow into a ponytail?"
Yuri (nervous, eyes forward): "Wait...that sounds accurate but... h-how'd you know?"
Main Character 1: "That's Monika."
Main Character 1: "You won't believe when I tell you this but what if I told you our world isn't what it seems to be and time kept resetting itself?"
Main Character 1: "I've been experiencing these dreams too."
Yuri: "That's...so, who is she?"
Main Character 1 (eyes closed): "Monika. She's the actual creator of the Literature Club. But at the moment, she technically doesn't exist anymore."
Yuri: "T-that's impossible. Sayori was the one who thought of it and when she came to me, I..."
Main Character 1 (both hands down, eyes forward): "In this timeline, yes, Sayori is the club president and is the one who created it in this timeline."
Yuri: "W-what? Timeline?"
Main Character 1: "In the original timeline, Sayori was vice president while our club president was a girl named Monika."
Main Character 1: "And after the first reset when Sayori ceased to exist, you took over her place as Monika's vice president."
Yuri: "Ahh...okay, so...wait..."
Yuri (turned forward, parting lips sadly): "If what you say is true, what exactly is our world?"
Main Character 1: "I'm not completely sure but I'm convinced we are living in a game world."
Yuri (nervous): "Then, if you remember all of that, then..."
Main Character 1 is wondering
Yuri (turned away, blushing sadly, eyes hidden): "You... I..."
Main Character 1 (right hands out, talking worryingly): "Yes, I'm aware that you were madly in love with me and that—"
Yuri: "..."
Main Character 1 (both hands down): "Yuri, are you okay?"
Yuri: "..."
Yuri: "I..."
Yuri: "I hurt you...I hurt...everyone..."
Main Character 1 (worried): "You didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault, it's—"
Yuri: "I...could have killed you all...I..."
Yuri (talking nervously, eyes forward): "Could it have been my Portrait of Markov novel."
Yuri: "But there was something driving my mind into..."
Yuri (blushing sadly, eyes hidden): "I didn't... I tried my best to resist it but my mind..."
Main Character 1 is sad
Yuri (talking nervously, eyes forward): "It hurts..."
Yuri: "Overwhelming imagination...taking over my mind."
Main Character 1: "Calm down, don't worry."
Yuri (blushing sadly, eyes hidden): "I just...I hate myself...I never liked who I was."
Yuri (talking nervously, eyes forward): "You see...I don't want to admit this but..."
Yuri: "Well, it's o-obvious that I h-have autism spectrum d-disorder...ever since I was little."
Main Character 1: "Yuri..."
Yuri: "It's...it's really hard for me t-to get in a r-relationship with anyone or s-stay in one... Connecting to people..."

Main Character 1 is blushing neutrally, eyes away
Natsuki (talking neutrally happy): "But I got my eye on you."
Main Character 1: She whispered to me, teasing me. She can be so unpredictable.
Natsuki leaves the scene
Main Character 1 (happy): I went into the closet to find the Bartley McCotter and the Archdruid's Crystal novel and gave it to Yuri since her reading voice will do.
Main Character 1: Natsuki sits down against a wall beneath the windows, a few feet away from me to my right. While the tea is brewing, Yuri takes sits between me and Natsuki. She opens the Bartley McCotter and the Archdruid's Crystal novel to the first chapter and begins reading.

Main Character 1 (wondering): Continuing from where we last left off, Bartley McCotter, his childhood friend Ciara Tracey, and their new friend Riley O'Donnell finally reach a magical Irish town from the subway-to-sky train they were on.
Main Character 1: They can see the humongous castle-shaped in the far back of town; Draíochas.
Main Character 1: After they stopped at the train station, the adults on board escorted the new students to help them get some equipment they need for school, like a wand, a delivery pet, utensils, and other school supplies.
Main Character 1: While Ciara was able to pay for some of her stuff, Bartley was broke but thankfully, his new friend Riley is willing to pay for their school supplies. Bartley owes him one.
Yuri is surprised
Main Character 1 (surprised): When they reached a bank, the bank was suddenly being attacked by evil wizards.
Main Character 1: The children hid and waited for a wizarding police force to arrest the criminals.
Main Character 1: However, one of the wizarding criminals stole some strange crystal from a vault and most of the criminals disappeared without a trace.
Main Character 1 (curious): Well, finally some crazy stuff but strangely enough, no money was stolen and judging by the title of the book, could that stolen crystal be the Archdruid's Crystal and if so, why were the evil wizards after it and what does it do?
Yuri is neutral
Main Character 1 (wondering): Anyway, after those shenanigans, everyone seemed alright.
Main Character 1: After the kids got everything they needed, they stayed at a small-looking hotel that is super huge on the inside for a week until school started.
Main Character 1: When they arrived at Draíochas the following week, all new students were being classed to the five Houses of Draíochas.
Main Character 1: These Houses with colored symbols include the purple female spirit Baintsíde, the black and white cat Cat Sidhe, the red man Far Darrig, the blue merfolk Merrow, and the green dragon Oilliphéist.
NOTE: These are mythological creatures in Celtic/Irish mythology.
Main Character 1 (surprised): Bartley and Ciara were housed under the blue merfolk Merrow while their new friend Riley were housed under the green dragon Oilliphéist.
Main Character 1: This surprised them but they wish each other luck.
Main Character 1 (wondering): In the meantime, they had a feast and went to their respective dorms for the night.
Main Character 1: Classes started in the next morning and the students are learning how to use magic with their wands.
Main Character 1: Bartley and his friends' first class was a charm class and the first spell they learned was something basic, the basic summoning spell Glaoim, to call forth objects to the user.
**NOTE: Glaoim is Irish for "I call".
Main Character 1: Other school classes some of them took together or separately include Potions Class, Astronomy Class, Magic History Class, and Herbology Class.
Main Character 1: It seemed like a normal school day but with magic.
Main Character 1**: Although, since it is their first day experiencing a new school, especially a huge one, it was difficult for them to get used to.

Natsuki enters the scene
Natsuki (left hand on hip, talking neutrally happy, eyes forward): "I'm liking the setting so far but when are there gonna be more action?"
Yuri (happy, eyes forward): "Have patience. It's gonna be a really long story. Don't forget that this is a time to get to know all the characters and their relationships."
Natsuki (arms crossed, talking neutrally): "I know, but man is this book gonna take forever."
Natsuki (talking flusteredly happy, eyes away): "I'm glad you're reading it since I'd wouldn't be read all that alone."
Natsuki: "I admit that the text is too intimidating for me to read."
Main Character 1 (talking happily): "Yeah, I too wouldn't have the time to read all of this so I'm glad you're reading it for us, Yuri."
Yuri (sadly happy, eyes away): "Well, thanks for the compliment, I guess. Though, you two are new to large novels."
Main Character 1: "But is anyone interested in watching the film adaptation once it's in theaters?"
Natsuki: "I'd be interested. At least we can see the visuals."
Yuri (seriously happy): "Kind of. Although, I don't they would be able to compile the entire story into a film so I'm more keen on reading this."
Main Character 1: "Maybe if they were to do a two-parter..."
**NOTE: Making a small reference to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as that novel spawned a two-part film.
Yuri**: "I suppose so."
Natsuki and Yuri leaves the scene

Sayori (right arm up, happy, eyes forward): "..."
Main Character 1 is surprised
Sayori (talking happily, eyes closed): "You are sooooo good at this, [mc1 name]!"
Main Character 1 (talking happily, eyes closed): "Something I pulled out of my head."
Main Character 1 is happy, eyes forward
Sayori (blushing happily, eyes away): "You show off!"
Main Character 1 is blushing happily
If the poem winner is Natsuki
Sayori (talking happily, eyes closed): "Still, Natsuki would love something this adorable."
If the poem winner is Yuri
Sayori (happy, eyes forward): "Still, Yuri would love something this deep."
Main Character 1 (happy, eyes forward): "No matter what I write, you'd be impressed with it."
Sayori (talking happily, eyes forward): "I guess so, but you definitely improved compared to the previous resets."
Main Character 1 (curious): "So... I supposed you haven't found anything yet while we read, have you?"
Sayori (talking sadly, eyes forward): "Monika and I still haven't found anything, at least I haven't."
Sayori: "I'll be honest with you, yesterday, Monika and I tried investigating this world but..."
Sayori (eyes away): "It's just been weird. We don't know what to think of it."
Sayori (left hand up, eyes forward): "I was unable to make contact with her today."
Main Character 1 (thinking): "Hmm..."
Main Character 1 is wondering

It's a beautiful day outside.

Should be playing outside
And having fun with everyone,
Making everyone happy!

Yay!!!

Main Character 1: "How should I say this?"
Sayori (nervously happy): "Okay, I admit, I... Well..."
Sayori (pointing fingers, pouting, eyes away): "In my spare time, I was playing an interesting game from the player's universe..."
Sayori: "... and I just had to use this one interesting quote."
NOTE: The game Sayori is referring to is Undertale* by Toby Fox and one of these quotes from Undertale makes a reference to EarthBound.
Main Character 1: "So that's what you were doing this entire time?"
Sayori: "Not all the time. I did it when I took breaks from researching."
Sayori: "Also at home."
Main Character 1 (wondering): "Anyways, isn't this a type of poem Natsuki would enjoy, whether she wants to admit it or not?"
Sayori (both arms, happy, eyes forward): "That's true. It does suit both her style and mine."

If poem is bad for Natsuki
If previous poem was also bad for Natsuki
Main Character 1 is worried, eyes forward
Natsuki: "...Hm."
Natsuki (left hand on hip, mouth opened happily): "Well, I can admit that it's better than the last one."
Main Character 1 is neutral
Natsuki: "It's nice to see that you're putting in some effort."
Main Character 1 (happy): "That's good..."
Natsuki (mouth opened neutrally): "But I still don't like this at all."
Natsuki: "It's trying too hard to be serious."
Main Character 1 (curious): "Eh? What do you mean by that?"
Main Character 1: I say that but I know she hates this kind of style.
Natsuki (both hands on hip): "Poems don't need to be all deep-sounding to express something."
Natsuki: "It's going to just sound like you're forcing it unless you really don't suck at it."
Natsuki (mouth closed flusteringly, eyes away): "Honestly... If you're gonna make poems to impress Yuri, don't show them to me.—"
Main Character 1 (blushing neutrally, eyes away): "W-well... umm..."
Natsuki (both hands down, flusteredly talking, eyes closed): "You know Yuri would love this kind of...this angsty..."
Main Character 1: "Yeah... Sorry..."
Main Character 1: Looks like I'm in trouble.
Main Character 1: At least she is a little bit kinder...this time?
Natsuki (talking neutrally, eyes forward): "I'm... I'm just so done with these types of poems."
Main Character 1 (scared, eyes forward): "Natsuki shoves the poem I handed her back over to me."
Natsuki (arms crossed, flusteredly talking): "Just take your poem. If you wrote it for someone else, just don't show it to me!"
Main Character 1 (worried): "Oof..."
Main Character 1 (mouth opened neutrally, eyes closed): "At least it's she's not as bad as the original timeline if I were to only impress Yuri."
Main Character 1: But this still tells me she wouldn't want to see my next poem.

If previous poem was good for Natsuki while this one was bad
Main Character 1 is wondering, eyes forward
Natsuki (both hands down, mouth opened happily, eyes forward): "...Hm."
Natsuki: "I liked your last one better."
Main Character 1: "Eh? Really?"
Natsuki (left hand on hip, mouth opened neutrally, eyes forward): "Well yeah. I can tell you were a little more daring with this one."
Natsuki: "But you're really not good enough for that yet. It fell flat."
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "That may be true, but I just wanted to try something different."
Main Character 1 is neutral
Natsuki (mouth opened happily): "I mean, I always like poems that aren't trying too hard."
Natsuki (flusteredly talking, eyes away): "I hate when people try to sound fancy or add more meaning just by using annoying and complicated language."
Natsuki (both hands on hip, talking neutrally, eyes forward): "Just make it simple, cute, and to the point!"
Natsuki (talking happily): "Yuri's head over heels for all this cryptic nonsense, but I see right through that BS. Hah!"
Natsuki (head turned, sweatingly sad, eyes forward): "Making your reader look so hard for all this deep meaning is just an excuse to have no meaning at all."
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "I guess that's one way to look at it."
Main Charactr 1 is neutral
Natsuki (left hand on hip, head forward, talking neutrally happy, head forward): "Well, everyone has their own opinion."
Natsuki: "But my opinion is the best opinion. I'm sure you've figured that out already."
Main Character 1 (glare): "Er..."
Natsuki (neutrally happy): "Anyway, here's my poem. Maybe you'll learn something."

If Natsuki likes this poem better than the first one
Main Character 1 is wondering, eyes forward
Natsuki (both hands down, mouth opened happily, eyes forward): "...Hm."
Natsuki (left hand on hip, mouth opened happily, eyes forward): "Well, I can admit that it's better than the last one."
Natsuki: "It's nice to see that you're putting in some effort."

If Natsuki likes this poem the same as the first one
Main Character 1 is wondering, eyes forward
Natsuki: "...Hm."
Natsuki (left hand on hip, mouth opened happily, eyes forward): "Well, it's not really any worse than your last one."
Natsuki: "But I can't really say it's any better, either."
Main Character 1 (mouth opened neutrally, eyes closed): "Phew..."
Natsuki (left hand on hip, mouth opened neutrally, eyes forward): "Huh? 'Phew' what?"
Main Character 1 (sadly happy): "Ah... Well anything that isn't a trainwreck, I'll take as a win."
Main Character 1: "And I get the feeling you're probably the most critical."
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly yelling, eyes forward): "H-Hey! What makes you—"
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly talking, eyes away): "(Wait, maybe that was a compliment...?)"
Natsuki (both hands on hip, talking happily, eyes closed): "A-Ahah! Glad to see someone recognizes my experience!"
Natsuki: "Well then, keep practicing and maybe you'll be as good as me someday!"
Main Character 1 (nervously smiling, eyes closed): "That's...uh..."
Main Character 1 (eyes forward): Something tells me Natsuki completely missed the point.
Natsuki (left hand on hip, mouth opened neutrally, eyes forward): "Come to think of it, this kind of reminds me of Sayori's poem from yesterday..."
Main Character 1 (wondering): "Eh? You think so?"
Natsuki (happy): "Yeah. Well I guess if you've been friends with her for so long, you might be on the same wavelength."
Natsuki (mouth opened happily): "But you never really struck me as her type."
Main Character 1 (curious): "Wait, am I really...?"
Natsuki (both hands on hip, head turned, sweatingly talking, eyes closed): "Well, I don't know! But honestly, how can someone so...er, fluffy...spend so much time with someone like you?"
Natsuki: "It's like she's dragging around a dead weight."
Main Character 1 (mouth opened neutrally, eyes closed): "Uug... That was a little unnecessary..."
Main Character 1 (happy, eyes forward): "But think of it this way. If it weren't for me, she would probably just fly away like letting go of a balloon."
Main Character 1: "You could say we each take care of each other in our own way."
Natsuki (head forward, flusteredly talking, eyes away): "Whatever it is, I don't get it..."
Natsuki: "...Oh, yeah, I guess I'm supposed to show you my poem."
Natsuki: "Here."

If poem is good for Natsuki
If previous poem was bad or neutral for Natsuki
Natsuki (both hands down, flusteredly talking, eyes forward): "..."
Main Character 1 (curious): Natsuki reads my poem.
Main Character 1: She keeps glancing at me, then back at the poem.
Main Character 1: By now, she must have read it more than once.
Natsuki (left hand on hip, eyes away): "...Aren't you supposed to be bad at this?"
Main Character 1: "...Is that a compliment?"
Natsuki (both hands down, gritting teeth flusteredly, eyes forward): "N-No! I mean... You know..."
Main Character 1: Natsuki struggles to find the words she wants.
Natsuki (arms crossed, flusteredly talking, eyes closed): "I just...expected a lot less after what you showed me yesterday."
Natsuki: "That's all."
Main Character 1: "Well, I guess I just got lucky with this one."
Natsuki (both hands on hip, talking flusteredly happy, eyes away): "Y-Yeah!! Exactly!"
Natsuki: "You just got lucky, you know?"
Natsuki (talking happily, eyes closed): "Don't get used to it."
Natsuki: "You won't always manage to write poems this cute. I mean—!"
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly yelling, eyes forward): "I mean well-written! No, I mean—"
Main Character 1 (smiling, eyes closed): "Ah, so that's how it is. My poem is cute?"
Natsuki (both hands down, yelling, eyes squeezed): "No! Why are you smiling?! It's not like I like cute things!"
Main Character 1 (nervously smiling, eyes closed): Natsuki shoves my poem back towards me.
Natsuki (both hands on hip, flusteredly talking, eyes closed): "H-Huh! Reading it again, I decided that it's not so great after all."
Natsuki: "It's too cute and doki-doki."
Natsuki (talking flusteredly happy, eyes away): "It would only impress...you know, girls...who like those kinds of things."
Natsuki: "Ahaha!"
Main Character 1: For some reason, Natsuki is incredibly easy to see through.
Natsuki (both hands down, flusteredly talking, eyes closed): "Well, anyway...!"
Natsuki (eyes forward): "You're gonna read mine now, right?"
Natsuki: "Judging by your tastes, you'll probably like it a lot."
Natsuki (left hand on hip, eyes away): "You'll probably learn something, too. Don't forget who the real pro is."

If previous poem was good for Natsuki.
Natsuki (both hands down, flusteredly worried, eyes forward): "..."
Main Character 1: Natsuki reads my poem.
Main Character 1: She keeps glancing at me, then back at the poem.
Main Character 1: By now, she must have read it more than once.
Natsuki (eyes away): "Rrgh..."
Main Character 1 (curious): "...?"
Main Character 1: "Is it that bad?"
Natsuki (flusteredly gritting teeth): "No! No, it's not!"
Natsuki: "It's good. It's really good, okay?!"
Natsuki (arms crossed, flusteredly talking, eyes closed): "There, I said it!"
Natsuki: "Ugh, this wasn't supposed to happen at all...!"
Natsuki (mouth closed flusteringly, eyes away): "Why can't you just be bad at this?"
Natsuki: "My poems are supposed to impress you, not the other way around!"
Main Character 1 (smirking): "You're trying to impress me?"
Natsuki (both hands down, head turned, sweatingly talking, eyes closed): "Obviously! You think I'd let you enjoy Yuri's writing more than mine?"
Natsuki: "Give me a break."
Main Character 1 (eyes closed): "Well..."
Main Character 1 (eyes forward): "In that case, what's the problem with me trying to impress you?"
Natsuki (both hands down, head forward, talking seriously, eyes forward): "I'll tell you! You—"
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly yelling, eyes forward): "—"
Main Character 1: Natsuki's face freezes, like she just realized something.
Natsuki: "Y-Y-You..."
Natsuki: "You're trying to...impress me?"
Natsuki has both hands down, flusteredly talking, eyes away
Main Character 1: Natsuki vigorously scans her eyes over my poem one more time.
Main Character 1: Then, the poem slips out of her hands and flutters to the floor.
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly yelling, eyes forward): "I...have to use the bathroom!"
Natsuki leaves the scene
Main Character 1: Red-faced, Natsuki quickly walks out of the room.
Sayori enters the scene
Sayori (both arms down, talking neutrally, eyes forward): "Hey, [mc1 name]..."
Sayori: "Did something happened to Natsuki?"
Sayori: "I just saw her rush out like that..."
Sayori: "You didn't do anything terrible, did you?"
Main Character 1 (talking worryingly): "N-No!"
Main Character 1: "I just told her that—"
Main Character 1 (blushing neutrally, eyes away): My voice gets caught in my throat.
Main Character 1: There's no way I could tell Sayori that I'm trying to impress Natsuki.
Sayori (left arm raised, talking neutrally, eyes forward): "Hmm?"
Main Character 1 (wondering, eyes forward): Sayori sees the poem lying on the floor and swiftly picks it up.
Sayori (happy): "Ooh, what do we have here?"
If you read Sayori's poem before Natsuki's poem
Main Character 1: She skims over it a second time, her smile not fading from her face.
Sayori: I see."
Sayori: So you do like Natsuki, don't you?"
If not
Main Character 1: She reads through it, her smile not fading from her face.
Sayori: I see."
Sayori: So you do like Natsuki, don't you?"
Main Character 1 (blushing neutrally, eyes forward): "I-I mean..."
Main Character 1 (eyes away): "Not really..."
Sayori (left arm raised, talking neutrally, eyes forward): "In fact, didn't she like your poem a lot the other day, too?"
Sayori: I'm surprised you know her taste so well already."
Sayori (right arm raised, smiling): "Are you sure you're not cheating, [mc1 name]?"
Main Character 1 (curious, eyes forward): "Cheating...?"
Main Character 1: "What do you mean by that?"
Sayori (both arms raised, happy, eyes forward): "I'm just teasing you, being a little bit like herrr."
Main Character 1 (glare): Ohhhhh... I see what's she's doing.
Sayori: "Anyway..."
Main Character 1 is wondering
Sayori (both arms down, happy): "How do you think Natsuki feels about you?"
Main Character 1 is blushing neutrally
Sayori: "Oh, you don't need to answer that."
Sayori: "It was just something for you to think about."
Natsuki enters the scene
Natsuki has both hands on hip, talking seriously, eyes forward
Main Chararacter 1 is surprised
Natsuki: "Hey!"
Main Character 1: Natsuki comes up and snatches the poem out of Sayori's hands.
Main Character 1: Neither of us had noticed her reenter the classroom.
Main Character 1 is neutral
Sayori: "Did you read this, Sayori?"
Sayori (both arms down, happy, eyes closed): "Of course! I liked it!"
Natsuki (both hands down, flusteredly gritting teeth, eyes away): "Ugh..."
Natsuki: "You should really stop reading things that aren't for you, you know."
Natsuki: "You have a bad habit of doing that."
Main Character 1 is curious
Sayori (curious, eyes forward): "Eh?"
Sayori: "But [mc1 name] wrote this poem."
Main Character 1 is neutral
Sayori (both arms down, parting lips neutrally, eyes forward): "And we're supposed to share with everyone, right?"
Natsuki (both hands down, gritting teeth flusteredly, eyes closed): "Uu—"
Main Character 1: Natsuki freezes.
Main Character 1: She apparently forgot that my poem is technically for everyone to read.
Natsuki (both hands on hip, head turned, sweatingly talking, eyes closed): "Okay, well, I think [mc1 name] is done sharing this poem with everyone."
Natsuki: "It's not like anyone would want to read this anyway."
Natsuki (both hands on hip, head forward, flusteredly talking, eyes forward): "In fact, I'm just going to hold onto this."
Sayori (pointing fingers, nervously happy, eyes forward): "If you insist~"
Natsuki (both hands down, mouth closed flustering, eyes forward): "What?"
Main Character 1 is wondering
Natsuki: "Why are you looking at me like that??"
Sayori: "Like what?"
Main Character 1 is neutral
Natsuki (both hands down, head turned, sweatingly sad, eyes closed): "Ugh..."
Natsuki: "Never mind."
If you read Sayori's and Yuri's poems before Natsuki's poem
Main Character 1 (worried): Well, I guess Natsuki has my poem now.
Main Character 1: Not that I really planned on keeping it.
If you read either Sayori's or Yuri's poem before Natsuki's poem but not the "other girl's" poem
Main Character 1 (talking worryingly): "Ah, Natsuki..."
Main Character 1: "I'll give you the poem, but that's still not very fair to [other girl's name]..."
Main Character 1: "...She hasn't gotten to read it yet."
Main Character 1 is worried
Natsuki (left hand on hip, head forward, flusteredly talking, eyes away): "So what?"
Sayori (left arm raised, happy, eyes forward): "Well... I guess [mc1 name] is right, Natsuki..."
Sayori: "It's not fair if you don't let everyone finish reading it."
Natsuki: "..."
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly talking, eyes forward): "...Fine."
Main Character 1 (surprised): Natsuki returns my poem.
Main Character 1 is happy
Natsuki: "It's not like she's going to like it, though."
Sayori leaves the scene
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly talking, eyes forward): "Anyway, read my poem now."
Natsuki (both hands on hip): "And no, I won't let you keep it."
Natsuki: "This is my only copy."

Amy Likes Spiders

You know what I heard about Amy?
Amy likes spiders.
Icky, wriggly, hairy, ugly spiders!
That's why I'm not friends with her.

Amy has a cute singing voice.
I heard her singing my favorite love song.
Every time she sang the chorus, my heart would pound to the rhythm of the words.
But she likes spiders.
That's why I'm not friends with her.

One time, I hurt my leg really bad.
Amy helped me up and took me to the nurse.
I tried not to let her touch me.
She likes spiders, so her hands are probably gross.
That's why I'm not friends with her.

Amy has a lot of friends.
I always see her talking to people.
She probably talks about spiders.
What if her friends start to like spiders too?
That's why I'm not friends with her.

It doesn't matter if she has other hobbies.
It doesn't matter if she keeps it private.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt anyone.

It's gross.
She's gross.
The world is better off without spider lovers.

And I'm gonna tell everyone
Replace music via fade out to fade in with "Okay, Everyone!" at the current position
MC expression box reappears with Main Character 1 being curious, eyes forward
Natsuki (left hand on hip, neutrally happy, eyes forward): "Not bad, right?"
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "It's quite a bit longer than yesterday's."
Natsuki (flusteredly talking, eyes closed): "Yesterday's was way too short..."
Natsuki: "I was just warming up!"
Natsuki (mouth opened neutrally, eyes forward): "I hope you didn't think that was the best I could do."
Main Character 1: "No, of course not..."
Natsuki (neutrally happy): "Anyway, the message is pretty straightforward in this poem."
Main Character 1 is wondering
Natsuki: "I doubt I have to explain it."
Natsuki (mouth opened neutrally): "Sometimes you can explain complicated issues with much simpler analogies..."
Natsuki: "And it helps people realize how stupid they're being."
Natsuki (mouth closed seriously): "Like, anyone would agree that the subject of this poem is an ignorant jerk..."
Main Character 1 (curious): "Do you know people like that?"
Natsuki (mouth opened neutrally): "Of course. It's about how everyone thinks my—"
Natsuki (arms crossed, flusteredly talking, eyes closed): "...That doesn't matter! It can be about anything!"
Natsuki (eyes forward): "I wrote it to be easy to relate to..."
Main Character 1 is wondering
Natsuki: "Everyone has some kind of weird hobby, or a guilty pleasure."
Natsuki (eyes away): "Something that you're afraid if people find out, they'd make fun of you or think less of you."
Natsuki (both hands down, talking seriously, eyes forward): "...But that just makes people stupid!"
Natsuki: "Who cares what someone likes, as long as they're not hurting anyone, and it makes them happy?"
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly talking, eyes away): "I think people really need to learn to respect others for liking weird things..."

If yesterday's or today's poem was good for Yuri and you read Yuri's poem before Natsuki's poem today
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "Huh, that's funny..."
Main Character 1: "Yuri wrote about something similar today."
Natsuki (both hands down, flusteredly talking, eyes forward): "Huh?"
Natsuki: "Did you say Yuri?"
Main Character 1: "Yeah..."
Main Character 1: "She said her poem was about an unusual hobby of hers."
Main Character 1: "I didn't really get it, but she said something similar to you..."

Natsuki (left hand on hip, eyes away): "Really?"
Natsuki: "Well..."
Natsuki (both hands down, talking flusteredly happy): "I mean, Yuri's pretty weird, so I wouldn't doubt that she has some weird hobbies..."
Natsuki: "...Not that there's anything wrong with that!"
Main Character 1 (worried): I wonder if she still has that cutting habit.
Natsuki (both hands down, flusteredly worried, eyes away): "Uu..."
Natsuki: "It's not like...I would judge her or anything..."
Main Character 1 (neutral): Natsuki has trouble finding words.
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly talking): "I-I guess I should try not to be so mean to her..."
Natsuki: "If she feels insecure about her weird behaviors and stuff..."
Natsuki: "I mean, I always hate people who make me feel insecure..."
Natsuki (both hands down, flusteredly worried, eyes away): "And Yuri almost made me feel insecure yesterday..."
Natsuki: "But I don't want to take our friendship away..."
Main Character 1 (happy): "Even if her writing style is really different, I'm sure she'll appreciate the message in your poem."
Else
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "Well, you're definitely right."
Main Character 1: "At least, I can relate to that."
Main Character 1: "And I'm sure a lot of other people can, too."

If yesterday's and today's poems were good for Natsuki
Natsuki (both hands on hip, flusteredly talking, eyes forward): "You know..."
Natsuki: "I'm glad that you can appreciate this kind of writing..."
Main Character 1 is happy
Natsuki (eyes away): "I mean...I know I was talking about that yesterday."
Natsuki: "But I've been...well, I've been enjoying sharing my writing with you, so..."
Natsuki (eyes closed): "...So consider yourself lucky, okay?"
Main Character 1 (nervously smiling, eyes closed): "Ahaha."
Main Character 1 (happy, eyes forward): "Well, thanks for being honest."
Main Character 1 is nervously smiling, eyes closed
Natsuki (left hand on hip, flusteredly worried, eyes forward): "What's that supposed to mean?"
Natsuki: "I'm always honest!"
Natsuki (both hands down, head turned, sweatingly sad, eyes closed): "Jeez..."
Natsuki: "Just look forward to tomorrow too, okay?"
Main Character 1 (happy, eyes forward): "Alright, I will."
Else
Natsuki (both hands on hip, head forward, mouth opened neutrally, eyes forward): "It's what I do best, after all!"
Natsuki: "I don't like writing unless there's a good message to take away from it."
Natsuki: "Like, conveying emotions is important..."
Natsuki: "But I want to make people think, not just feel."
Natsuki (talking neutrally): "Remember that!"
Natsuki: "I'm gonna write a good one for tomorrow, too, so look forward to it."

Yuri (both hands down, happy, eyes forward): "..."
Yuri (left hand up, talking seriously, eyes away): "Um..."
Yuri: "...You're not angry at me, are you?"
Main Character 1 (curious): "Eh?!"
Yuri: "For nearly disrespecting Natsuki yesterday..."
Yuri: "I don't know if you were listening but..."
Yuri: "Reading this poem..."
Yuri (turned away, sad): "I'm sorry if you don't like me."
Yuri: "Because you..."
Yuri (both hands up, parting lips sadly): "You prefer her writing over mine, right?"
Main Character 1 (talking worryingly): "That's not true..."
Main Character 1 is worried
Yuri: "Meaning when I nearly disrespected her opinion..."
Yuri: "I disrespected you too...didn't I?"
Yuri (turned away, blushing sadly, eyes hidden): "Oh no..."
Main Character 1 (talking worryingly): "Yuri..."
Main Character 1: "You might be reading into this a little too much..."
Main Character 1 is worried
Yuri: "How could I be so stupid...?"
Yuri: "I always let these things happen..."
Yuri: "Whenever I think before I speak, I just come off as awkward and unlikable."
Yuri: "It hasn't really happened yesterday since Sayori was there."
Yuri: "If we weren't already good friends, I probably would have said something really bad that I wouldn't want to say."
Yuri: "I tend to speak without thinking. The things I want to keep inside come out and make people hate me."
Yuri (left hand up, parting lips sadly, eyes away): "So...please don't force yourself to be around me."
Main Character 1: "Yuri—"
Yuri (turned away, sad): "Please..."
Yuri: "It makes it easier for me if you don't express any concern."
Yuri: "Besides..."
Yuri: "I have my books with me."
Yuri (both hands up, sadly happy): "That's...all I need."
Main Character 1: "..."
Main Character 1: Yuri smiles sadly and puts her head down on her desk.
Main Character 1: I'm frustrated but I do feel bad for her.
Main Character 1: I don't hate her, but it's as if she's not capable of listening to me over her own thoughts.
Main Character 1 (mouth opened neutrally, eyes closed): I sigh to myself.
If yesterday's poem was good for Natsuki
Main Character 1: I'll try again.
Main Character 1 (talking worryingly): "Yuri, don't forget that we're friends. What about the manga we're reading?"
Yuri (parting lips sadly): "Oh, well, I do love it."
Yuri (sadly happy): "S-sorry, I forgot for a second but..."
Yuri: "I feel like being alone for a little bit. Please, don't worry me. I-I'm sorry."
Main Character 1: If she wants to be left alone, then I have no choice but to abide to that request.

Yuri: "It's a bit different."
Yuri (both hands down, happy, eyes forward): "I respect you for trying different things, [mc1 name]."
Main Character 1 is blushing neutrally
Yuri: "Were you inspired by Natsuki's poem?"
Yuri: "Or Sayori's, perhaps?"
Main Character 1: "Well..."
Main Character 1: "I guess you could say that..."
Yuri: "I thought so."
Yuri (left hand up, sadly happy, eyes away): "I'm happy for you."
Yuri: "You don't need to find inspiration in my poems."
Yuri: "I write them for myself..."
Main Character 1 is worried
Yuri (turned away, sad): "...Not for anyone else."
Yuri: "So I don't really...need for people to like them or anything."
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "Yuri!"
Yuri (both hands up, talking sadly, eyes forward): "E-Eh?"
Main Character 1: "I'm sorry for being blunt, but you're overthinking this a little."
Main Character 1 (happy): "Just because our styles are different doesn't mean I dislike your poems..."
Main Character 1: "I'm pretty sure I can write just like you, but I let my mind take me where it wants me to go."
Yuri (eyes forward): "I...I see..."
Yuri: "I'm sorry..."
Yuri: "My stupid mind...it likes to do that sometimes."

Main Character 1 (happy): "Maybe that's why..."
Main Character 1: "You did a good job explaining."
Main Character 1: "I really wanted to try giving it more imagery."
Main Character 1: Although, to be honest, those resets helped me improve too.
Yuri is turned away, sad, eyes away
Main Character 1: Yuri visibly swallows.
Main Character 1: Even her hands appear sweaty.
Yuri: "I'm not...used to this..."
Main Character 1 (curious): "Used to what?"
Yuri (both hands up, nervous, eyes away): "I don't know...!"
Main Character 1 (happy): "It's fine, take your time..."
Yuri has both hands up, parting lips calmingly, eyes closed
Main Character 1: Yuri breathes and collects her thoughts.
Main Character 1: I know that Yuri likes to think before she speaks, so I offer that patience to her.
Yuri (turned away, sad, eyes forward): "Yeah..."

Yuri: "It probably sounds really stupid..."
Yuri: "But seeing someone motivated by my writing..."
Yuri: "It just makes me..."
Yuri: "Really happy..."
Main Character 1 (wondering): "Are you saying you've never shared your writing before?"
Main Character 1: Yuri nods.
Main Character 1: "How come?"
Yuri: "I really only write for myself..."
Yuri: "And besides..."
Yuri (both hands up, parting lips sadly, eyes closed): "...People would just laugh at me!"
Main Character 1: "Do you really think that...?"
Main Character 1: Again, Yuri nods.
Main Character 1: "Huh..."
Main Character 1: "Even your close friends?"
Yuri (left hand up, eyes away): "..."
Main Character 1: Yuri doesn't respond to that.
Main Character 1: I wonder why...
Main Character 1: "Anyway..."

Yuri: "If it's with you..."
Go to "The Racoon" poem, skipping the "If today's Yuri poem is not being skipped" dialogs

Label: If today's Yuri poem is not being skipped
Yuri (both hands down, happy, eyes forward): "It's just that there are specific writing habits that are usually typical of new writers."
Yuri: "And having been through that myself, I kind of learned to pick up on them."
Yuri (seriously happy, eyes away): "I think the most noticeable thing I recognize in new writers is that they try to make their style very deliberate."
Yuri: "In other words, they tend to pick a writing style separate from the topic matter, and they form-fit the two together."
Yuri (happy, eyes forward): "The end result is that both the style and the expressiveness are weakened."
Main Character 1: Once Yuri finds her train of thought, it's as if her demeanor totally changes.
Main Character 1: Her stammering is completely gone, and she sounds like an expert.
Yuri (parting lips neutrally, eyes closed): "Of course, that's not something you can be blamed for."
Yuri: "There are so many different skills and techniques that go into writing even a simple poem."
Yuri (happy, eyes forward): "Not just finding them and building them, but getting them to work together is probably the most challenging part."
Yuri: "It might take you some time, but it all comes with practice, and learning by example, and trying new things."
Yuri: "I also hope that everyone else in the club gives you valuable feedback."
Yuri (both hands down, parting lips calmingly, eyes closed): "Natsuki can be a little bit biased, though..."
Main Character 1: "Biased? How?"
Yuri (left hand up, talking seriously happy, eyes away): "U-Um..."
Yuri: "Well..."
Yuri: "Never mind..."
Yuri: "I shouldn't be talking about people like that..."
Yuri: "Sorry..."
Main Character 1: "It's fine."
Main Character 1: I'm not sure if Yuri is apologizing to herself, to me, or to Natsuki.
Main Character 1: "Do you mind if I read your poem now?"
Yuri (both hands up, happy, eyes closed): "Please do!"
Yuri: "I'd love to share my thought process behind it..."
Main Character 1: Yuri smiles dreamily, as if that's a rare opportunity for her.
Main Character 1: Which itself is kind of funny...
Main Character 1: ...After all, isn't this supposed to be a literature club?

The Racoon

It happened in the dead of night while I was slicing bread for a guilty snack.
My attention was caught by the scuttering of a raccoon outside my window.
That was, I believe, the first time I noticed my strange tendencies as an unordinary human.
I gave the raccoon a piece of bread, my subconscious well aware of the consequences.
Well aware that a raccoon that is fed will always come back for more.
The enticing beauty of my cutting knife was the symptom.
The bread, my hungry curiosity.
The raccoon, an urge.

The moon increments its phase and reflects that much more light off of my cutting knife.
The very same light that glistens in the eyes of my raccoon friend.
I slice the bread, fresh and soft. The raccoon becomes excited.
Or perhaps I'm merely projecting my emotions onto the newly-satisfied animal.

The raccoon has taken to following me.
You could say that we've gotten quite used to each other.
The raccoon becomes hungry more and more frequently, so my bread is always handy.
Every time I brandish my cutting knife, the raccoon shows me its excitement.
A rush of blood. Classic Pavlovian conditioning. I slice the bread.
And I feed myself again.

Yuri (left hand up, calmingly happy, eyes closed): "Um..."
Yuri: "I was a little more daring with this one than yesterday's..."
Main Character 1 (happy): "I can see that."
Main Character 1: "It's a lot more metaphorical..."
Main Character 1: I think I'm starting to get this poem.
Yuri (both hands down, happy, eyes forward): "That's right."
Yuri: "It's a bit closer to my preferred writing style..."
Yuri: "Using the poem as a canvas to express vivid imagery, and conveying emotions through them."
Main Character 1: "Yeah, if I take it at face value, then I can't even figure out what it's supposed to mean..."
Yuri (left hand up, talking neutrally): "Well..."
Yuri: "I think it's something that different people can relate to in their own way."
Yuri: "I wanted to express the way it feels for me to indulge in my more unusual hobbies..."
Yuri (parting lips sadly, eyes away): "It's those sorts of things I'm usually forced to keep to myself."
Yuri: "So, I sometimes enjoy writing about them."
If read Natsuki's poem already and if MC1's poem is neutral or good for Natsuki
Main Character 1 (eyes closed): "Huh, that's funny..."
Yuri (wondering, eyes forward): "...?"
Main Character 1 (eyes forward): "Didn't Natsuki also write something about that?"
Main Character 1: "About someone being ridiculed for a strange interest?"
Yuri (talking seriously, eyes away): "Eh?"
Yuri: "She...she did?"
Main Character 1: "Yeah..."
Main Character 1: "She was talking about how it doesn't matter what you're into as long as you're not hurting anybody."
Yuri (both hands up, yelling, eyes forward): "She—She's right!"
Yuri (nervous, eyes away): "Ah—I mean..."
Yuri: "Does she really feel that way...?"
Main Character 1: "Yeah."
Main Character 1: "Sounds like you two have that in common..."
Yuri (talking seriously): "That's...well, that's interesting..."
Yuri: "To me, she seemed like the kind of person who would make fun of my hobbies..."
Yuri: "But I suppose that's my fault for judging, isn't it...?"
Yuri (talking nervously, eyes forward): "Ah— Please don't tell her I said that!"
Main Character 1: "Ahaha. Don't worry, I have no reason to."
Yuri (both hands down, parting lips calmingly, eyes closed): "Okay..."
Yuri (happy, eyes forward): "Well, thank you for sharing it with me."
If read Natsuki's poem already and if MC1's poem is bad for Natsuki
Main Character 1: "Why do you keep them to yourself?"
Yuri (parting lips sadly, eyes away): "Be...Because..."
Yuri: "They're embarrassing..."
Yuri: "And people would make fun of me."
Yuri: "Don't you have anything like that, [mc1 name]?"
Main Character 1: "Well..."
Main Character 1: "Yeah, I guess I do..."
Yuri (left hand up, talking seriously, eyes away): "I feel like everyone has a little something like that."
Yuri: "The best we can do is respect each other and our individualities."
Yuri: "Even if it's difficult sometimes, and some things make us uncomfortable..."
Yuri (both hands down, happy, eyes forward): "After all, if I hadn't learned to embrace my own weirdness, I would probably hate myself."
Yuri (left hand up, sadly happy, eyes away): "I-I might be ranting a little bit now..."
Yuri: "...But I'm glad that you're a good listener."
If both poems were good for Yuri so far
Yuri (left hand up, sadly happy, eyes forward): "You're good at a lot of things..."
Yuri: "Writing, listening..."
Yuri (eyes away): "There really aren't many people like you, [mc1 name]..."
Main Character 1 (blushing neutrally): "Th-That's exaggerating a little bit..."
Yuri (parting lips sadly): "It's just...how I feel."
Yuri: "I never thought I would feel so comfortable sharing my writing..."
Yuri (sadly happy, eyes forward): "But now, I almost feel like I look forward to it..."
Yuri (calmingly happy, eyes closed): "It's just...a really nice feeling."
Yuri: "And you're to thank for that."
Main Character 1: "It's...it's nothing, really..."
Main Character 1: Yuri smiles sincerely at me.

Main Character 1 is wondering
Natsuki enters the scene
Natsuki (right hand on hip, mouth opened neutrally, eyes forward): "Is this about the festival?"
Sayori (both arms down, happy, eyes closed): "Well, sort of~"
Sayori has her eyes forward
Natsuki (talking worryingly): "Ugh. Do we really have to do something for the festival?"
Natsuki: "It's not like we can put together anything good in just a few days."
Natsuki: "We'll just end up embarrassing ourselves instead of getting any new members."
Yuri enters the scene
Yuri (left hand up, mouth closed seriously, eyes forward): "That's a concern of mine as well."
Yuri: "I don't really do well with last-minute preparations..."
Sayori (talking happily, eyes forward): "Don't worry so much!"
Sayori: "We're going to keep it simple, okay?"
Sayori (happy): "We won't need much more than a few decorations."
Sayori: "In my spare time when I was away, I was working on some posters and designed some pamphlets we can give out during the event."
Main Character 1 (curious): "Wait, I thought you told me that—"
Sayori (talking happily): "I do many things but I wanted to keep this one a surprise for the club."
Main Character 1 (neutral): Never mind. After all, she brought in those kinds of things from earlier.
Natsuki (right hand on hip, mouth opened neutrally): "Okay, that's great and all..."
Natsuki: "But that doesn't tell us what we're actually going to be doing for the event."
Sayori (parting lips neutrally): "Oh, sorry! I thought you heard about it already."
Sayori (smiling): "We're be performing!"
Natsuki (blushing, talking): "Performing?"
Yuri (both hands up, nervous): "P..."
Yuri (eyes away): "Um, Sayori..."
Sayori (talking happily, eyes closed): "POETRY PERFORMANCE!!!"
Sayori (smiling, eyes forward): "Each of us are going to choose a poem to recite during the event."
Sayori: "But the best part is, we're also going to let anyone else come up and recite poems too!"
Sayori (happy): "I'm putting it on all the posters in case anyone wants to prepare ahead of time."
Main Character 1 (curious): Sayori, who's been coloring a poster, holds it up for us to see.
Main Character 1 (shocked): W-w-wait, are these words also the same when—
Main Character 1 is curious
Natsuki (both hands on hip, talking flusteredly, eyes closed): "Are you kidding me, Sayori?"
Natsuki: "You didn't...you didn't already start putting those posters up, did you?"
Sayori (parting lips neutrally, eyes forward): "Eh? Well, I did..."
Sayori: "Do you really think it's that bad of an idea...?"
Natsuki (both hands down, mouth closed flusteringly, eyes away): "Well, no."
Natsuki: "It's not a bad idea."
Natsuki (talking flusteredly, eyes closed): "But I didn't sign up for this, you know!"
Natsuki (gritting teeth flusteredly): "There is no way I'm going to be performing in front of a group of people like that!"
Yuri (both hands up, yelling, eyes forward): "I...I agree with Natsuki!"
Yuri (parting lips calmingly, eyes closed): "I could never...in my life...do something like that..."
Main Character 1 (sad): Imagining it, Yuri shakes her head in fear.
Sayori (parting lips sadly): "Guys..."
Sayori: "Okay, I understand where you're coming from."
Sayori: "You two have never shared your poems with anyone until just a couple days ago..."
Sayori: "I guess it's too much for you two to recite poems out loud to a whole room full of people."
Sayori (sad): "I thought too much after I got us into trading poems."
Sayori: "I'm so sorry."
Natsuki (arms crossed, mouth closed seriously, eyes forward): "..."
Main Character 1 (mouth closed neutral, eyes closed): Looks like we're going nowhere from here unless if I step up.
Main Character 1: I too would like to see this through as we never got to see the festival so...
Main Character 1 (neutral): It's my time to save this situation. Here goes nothing. Remember her lines...
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally, eyes forward): "I still think we should give it our best!"
Main Character 1: "We're the only ones responsible for the fate of this club."
Main Character 1: "If we start the event and each put on a good performance..."
Main Character 1 (happy): "Then it will inspire others to do the same!"
Main Character 1: "And the more people who perform, the better we'll be able to show everyone what literature is all about!"
Sayori (talking happily, eyes closed): "Yeah!"
Sayori (smiling, eyes forward): "It's about expressing your feelings..."
Sayori: "Being intimate with yourself..."
Sayori: "Finding new horizons..."
Sayori: "And having fun!"
Main Character 1 (talking happily): "Exactly!"
Main Character 1: "And it's those reasons that we're all in this club today."
Main Character 1 (happy): "Shouldn't we want to share that with others?"
Main Character 1: "To inspire them to find the same feelings that brought you here in the first place?"
Main Character 1: "We can do it."
Main Character 1: "I know we all can do it."
Main Character 1 (talking happily): "And if all it takes is standing in front of the room for two minutes and reciting a poem..."
Main Character 1: "...Then I know we can do it!"
Main Character 1 (happy): "I don't think it's too much to ask."
Main Character 1: "I think that Sayori has been trying really hard to get new members."
Main Character 1: "One or two new members shouldn't hurt, so the least we can do is help out the club."
Natsuki (mouth closed flusteredly, eyes away): "..."
Main Character 1 is sad
Yuri (turned away, sad, eyes away): "..."
Sayori is parting her lips worryingly
Main Character 1: Natsuki and Yuri remain silent.
Main Character 1: Sayori looks worried.
Main Character 1: What else can I say?
Natsuki (talking flusteredly, eyes forward): "Well...maybe, but..."
Natsuki: "..."
Main Character 1 (happy): It looks like Natsuki doesn't have any arguments left.
Natsuki: "Uu..."
Natsuki (both hands down, flusteredly talking, eyes away): "...Okay, fine!"
Natsuki: "I guess I'll just have to get it over with."
Sayori (both arms raised, talking happily, eyes closed): "Alright~!"
Sayori (both arms down, smiling, eyes forward): "Thanks for the save, [mc1 name]."
Sayori: "Thank you, Natsuki!"
Sayori: "What about you, Yuri...?"
Yuri: "..."
Main Character 1 (worried): Yuri dejectedly glances around at everyone else's expectant faces.
Yuri: "Sigh..."
Yuri: "I-I guess I don't really have a choice..."
Sayori (both arms raised, talking happily, eyes closed) "Ahaha! That's everyone!"
Sayori: "You're the best, Yuri~"
Sayori is happy
Main Character 1 is happy
Yuri: "This club is seriously going to be the death of me..."
Yuri: "D-don't I get anything to say as vice president?"
Sayori (talking sadly, eyes forward): "I'm sorry..."
Sayori: "But you'll be fine, Yuri."
Sayori: "Anyway..."
Sayori (smiling, eyes forward): "That's enough time we have in our meeting so..."
Sayori: "For today's assignment, we'll be writing a poem..."
Sayori: "And we'll practice reciting them in class at the start of tomorrow's meeting."
Main Character 1 is surprised
Yuri has both hands up, nervous, eyes forward
Natsuki (talking flusteredly, eyes forward): "N-N-No way!!"
Yuri: "Sayori...!"
Yuri: "D-do we really have to...?!"
Sayori (parting lips sadly): "You should really show more enthusiasm. I'm sorry I didn't consider your thoughts but..."
Sayori (sadly happy): "I want to make this the best club ever. Don't you?"
Yuri (turned away): "Y-you're right... Let's get this over with."
Sayori (talking happily, eyes closed): "That's the spirit!"
Sayori (smiling, eyes forward): "And here is Sayori's Writing Tip of the Day."
Sayori: "Don't give up just yet...

MC expression box reappears
Main Character 1 (neutral, eyes forward): "I walk home with Sayori once more."
Main Character 1: Even though it's only been a few days, a lot of things have already changed with some repeats.
Main Character 1: But today, Sayori is being a little quieter than usual on the way home.
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "Hey, Sayori..."
Sayori enters the scene
Sayori (both hands down, parting lips sadly, eyes forward): "..."
Sayori (wondering): "...Sorry! I was spacing out!"
Main Character 1: "Ah, no wonder..."
Sayori (nervously happy): "Um..."
Sayori: "I was...thinking about something from earlier."
Sayori: "I like how we get to..."
Sayori (blushing happily, eyes away): "I-I mean..."
Main Character 1 (wondering): "Sayori fumbles with her words."
Sayori: "So...let's just say that one day, [Ch. 3 Poem Winner] asked to walk home with you..."
Main Character 1 (curious): "Huh?!"
Sayori: "What would you do?"
Main Character 1: "This question again? Really?"
Sayori: "Ehehe... I'd like to hear your thoughts on this run."
Main Character 1 (thinking): "Well... (There's no doubt the player will pick in my stead but I'll go along with it.)"
Menu options:
"I would walk home with [Ch. 3 Poem Winner]."
If "Ch. 3 Poem Winner" is Natsuki
Main Character 1: "Walking home with Natsuki, huh..."
Main Character 1 (blushing neutrally): Why does the thought of that make my heart pound...?
Main Character 1: "I mean..."
Main Character 1: I think I would be afraid of what she'd do to me if I turned her down...
Main Character 1 (worried): Plus, I do worry about her life when it comes to father issues...
Sayori (smiling, eyes forward): "Isn't she so cute and fun to be around?"
If "Ch. 3 Poem Winner" is Yuri
Main Character 1: "Walking home with Yuri, huh..."
Main Character 1 (blushing neutrally): Why does the thought of that make my heart pound...?
Main Character 1: "I mean..."
Main Character 1: Given how hard it is for her to socialize, I would feel awful turning her down...
Main Character 1 (worried): Plus, I do worry about her delicate body if she still has cutting issues...
Sayori (smiling, eyes forward): "Isn't she so beautiful and smart?"
Main Character 1 (blushing neutrally): "That has nothing to do with what I just said!"
Sayori (both hands up, smiling, eyes closed): "Ahaha! You admitted it!"
Main Character 1 (glare): "Jeez..."
Main Character 1: "There's not even any point in speculating something that's never going to happen."
Sayori (both hands down, sadly happy, eyes forward): "Well, maybe..."
Sayori: "But I just like to think about it."
Sayori (blushing happily, eyes away): "It's not long before you won't need me anymore, you know?"
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "Need you...?"
Main Character 1: "Sayori..."
Main Character 1: "I can't figure out how you're seeing things in your head right now."
Sayori: "Sorry..."
Main Character 1: "Everyone is different..."
Main Character 1 (sadly happy): "Nobody in the club is a replacement for you, president or not."
Sayori (parting lips sadly): "Hmm..."
Sayori: "If you say so..."
"I would still walk home with Sayori."
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "Sayori..."
Main Character 1: "You really think I would ditch you for [Ch. 3 Poem Winner]?"
Sayori (wondering): "Eh?!"
Sayori: "B-But..."
If "Ch. 3 Poem Winner" is Natsuki
Sayori: "She's so cute and fun to be around..."
If "Ch. 3 Poem Winner" is Yuri
Sayori: "She's so beautiful and smart..."
Main Character 1 (mouth opened neutrally, eyes closed): "Jeez..."
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally, eyes opened): "I already see her in the club every day."
Main Character 1: "Besides, you always seem to really like going home together..."
Main Character 1: "I wouldn't just ruin that for you."
Main Character 1: "After all, according to the game rules, the club president doesn't have a route."
Main Character 1: "And these are the only times we can hang out outside the club during gameplay."
Sayori (blushing happy, eyes away): "You're so silly, [mc1 name]..."
Sayori: "You think about me too much sometimes."
Sayori: "[Ch. 3 Poem Winner] would deserve it if she wanted it, so..."
Main Character 1: "Sayori, I've already made up my mind."
Main Character 1 (eyes closed): "I really can't figure you out sometimes..."
Sayori: "Sorry..."
"I would walk home by myself."
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally, eyes closed): "Ehh... I think I'll just walk home by myself."
Sayori (shocked): "Wah..."
Sayori (pointing fingers, pouting, eyes away): "You meanie!"
Sayori: "(This option is new...)"
Main Character 1: "Look, I already know their ups and downs, whether they still have them or not."
Main Character 1: "Also, joining the literature club was never my intent on the first place, yet I was forced."
Main Character 1: "Even in this run when I thought it was my own doing, it was actually you who dragged me, altering my mind."
Sayori (parting lips sadly): "But..."
Sayori (sad, eyes forward): "I'm sorry. I really wanted to do a run where everyone's happy."
Sayori (sad): "I wanted you to live a happy life with the girls."
Main Character 1 (sad, eyes closed): "It's fine. I'm sorry too."
Main Character 1 (neutral, eyes forward): "Perhaps I'll give the literature club another chance."
Sayori (sadly happy, eyes forward): "Really?"
Main Character 1 (talking neutrally): "But I'm choosing my own destiny whenever the player is not controlling it."
__Sayori: "Okay, thank you."
Player exits out of Main Character 1's body as he enters the scene, both hands down, neutral, eyes forward
Sayori (curious): "Oh! There's another thing that caught my attention when I spaced out."
Main Character 1 (wondering): "What's that?"
Sayori (talking neutrally): "When I was checking the modded script between here and in the club, there are these big empty gaps."
Sayori: "Kind of weird."
Main Character 1: "Does that mean anything?"
Sayori (right arm raised, talking neutrally): "Well, a lot of stuff is hidden from us."
Sayori: "I think there are some things the player has seen that I or Monika aren't able to see."
Main Character 1: "You think?"
Sayori: "I don't know if those empty spaces are intentional or accidental, but it's just a guess."
Main Character 1: "I've been worried too much. Let's not take it any further."
Sayori (both hands down, happy): "Agreed. See you later."
Sayori (smiling): "Don't forget about reciting a poem tomorrow since we didn't have the time today."
Main Character 1 (eyes closed): "I know. And yeah, it was supposed to be today but our reading activities took too much time."
Main Character 1 (eyes forward): "Later."
Sayori and Main Character 1 leaves the scene

Part A on DeviantART: Created on February 1, 2018. Finished on February 8, 2018. Last edited on December 5, 2018. Published at DeviantART on January 4, 2019.
Part B on DeviantART: Created on February 8, 2018. Last edited on December 6, 2018. Published at DeviantART on January 4, 2019.

NOTE: My apologies. This page accidentally had Chapter 2 content but I fixed it on March 18, 2019.

List of updates

Update #1 (August 3, 2023, 11:34 p.m. EDT): Included "*Play music: Daijoubu!*" at the start of the last Scene: Residential area and fixed a few typos/grammar errors in that scene.

List of chapters
NOTE: Part A/B/C/etc. of each chapter are continuations of the same chapter. Start with Part A and continue onward. The reason for these parts is to reduce CPU stutters/lag when editing these chapters and chapters can break when writing too much. You don't have to read all character routes if you don't want to. If you want to focus on one person, you may do so and skip the other character routes.

Chapter 3: "Thursday" - Released: January 4, 2019
